On 17 December 2025, the Tribunal gave Mrs Halfpenny until 7 January 2026 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The Tribunal found that she had neither provided an acceptable reason why a strike-out judgment should not be made nor requested a hearing. No remedy was awarded.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
